Gregor won by 18,804 votes (or 15.1%), which is a sizable majority over Peter Ladner. Interestingly, for Betty Krawczyk of the Work Less Party - she can tell her voters and fans that she finished third in this race (even though she only captured 1.1% of the casted votes)! And despite her finishing third as well as the WLP in many of the contests Pete Quily's Social Networking Analysis didn't cover it - however he should have as WLP has a strong presence on Facebook.

From the councilor elections of the top ten that were elected: 7 were Vision, 2 COPE and 1 NPA.

Raymond Louie had the highest voter support at 53.3% of the vote (or 66226 votes)

Kashmir Dhaliwal of Vision was just 1023 votes shy of getting onto council (0.8% of the vote)

Interestingly, the top ten candidates are separated by 20,000 votes (66,000 to 46,000)

If NPA delivered another 10,000 votes on election day, this would have been an all-together different ball game!

The highest non-Vision/COPE or non-NPA party was the Work Less Party again - with Chris Shaw racking up 11,237 votes (9% of the vote). He was followed closely by independent Lea Johnson (less than 300 votes apart). These stats also show how strong the 3 big parties are in Vancouver- no one else can come close.

Next post: will analyze Parks Board and School Board races. This will be followed by an in-depth review of why Eastside votes more progressively than the Westside.
